Yu Yuen Man (b. 2000, lives and works in Hong Kong) is a contemporary artist whose practice explores existential consciousness, transience, and the contradictions of being through the fluidity of perception and the interplay between subjectivity and space.
Her work transforms everyday elements and their cycles of decay and renewal into temporal spaces that transcend time, physical reality, and fixed identity, revealing the profound complexity of existence and the inner essence of the universe.
The Phantom series (2022–2025) forms the foundation of her practice, merging Eastern Daoist and Buddhist philosophy with Western tragic perspectives to examine the fundamental nature of life. Building on this, her ongoing central inquiry investigates how the primitivity of life coexists and symbiotically intertwines with the highly developed civilized world.
Shaped by growing up in an era of pervasive technology and global mobility, where virtual and physical realities constantly intersect, her art reflects on self-identity, multicultural belonging, sensation, memory, and enlightenment within the tension between nature and civilization.
